Everyone here was once a neophyte.

Many of us are still amateurs which means we do it for the love of it , 
as opposed to professional which means we would try and make money from it.

Truth be told it is the neophytes posting which have kept this list 
alive and useful.

  The posts from the old timers full of inside jokes and sometimes an 
arcane bit of knowledge can easily be the beginning of a lists death spiral.

So ask away with the questions all you lurkers. Even if it is the ten 
thousandth time it has been answered , we all had the question answered 
for us at some point .

Now it is pay back time.
